| Subject: | describe_tags cannot handle tags without a value |
If you attach a tag without a value to an instance (so its just the
key), describe_tags returns an error (debug output):

Attribute (value) does not pass the type constraint because: Validation

The problem is that 'value' is defined as a required attribute for ctor
of Net::Amazon::EC2::DescribeTags class and cannot be empty as it is in
this case. This is nasty, especially if you try to fetch all tags in
your account.
